Pop-ups & Priority
Bloop Between Second, First, and Right
Priority: RF over 2B over 1B
A shallow bloop into no-man's land in short right. The right fielder charging in has priority and the easier play — he calls off the infielders.

Key point
On bloops the player moving IN to the ball (the outfielder) has priority over the infielder backpedaling — the easier catch wins.
Drill
Tweener drill: hit short flies between the second baseman and right fielder; the outfielder calls it coming in and the infielder peels off.
Watch for
An infielder drifting back and an outfielder charging, both silent — the classic Texas-leaguer collision.
